Butler County economic indicators: Foreclosures, evictions likely to jump
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on Butler County's property values, with a projected 37% increase next year, potentially leading to a rise in foreclosures and evictions for vulnerable residents. Additionally, other economic indicators such as new home building permits and property tax collections have been affected. While personal income has increased, inflation remains a concern. However, the county has fared relatively well with sales tax revenue and government funding injections supporting the economy.
